flashflood of memories.

i'm not really that much aware how terrible the recent typhoon 'ondoy' caused the country. the country was submerged for a day and the aftermath--murky city, loss of properties and the worse, loss of lives. i'm still lucky that my sister and i just experienced roughly 15hours or so without electricity and almost 48hrs without water but otherwise, we did not lose anything...we're still safe and sound. it's sad to think how other people still managed to take advantage of the situation such as unscrupulous cab drivers overpricing whilst the road is submerged in floodwaters. how could they? on a lighter note, it's good to know that other countries are extending help as we face the aftermath of the recent calamity that marred us all. as far as i know, even hollywood celebs have been promoting philippine red cross in twitter. among them was ricky martin, ashton kutcher and wife demi moore, josh groban etc. germany sent financial aid amounting to Php25M. i hope the country will recover soon because it's really hurtful to see our nation severely wounded and as much as i don't want to think about it anymore, it just keep crossing my mind.

ok, enough of the heavy stuff because they make me sad.

moving on, i bought this wonderful lava lamp yesterday since i've been eyeing that thing for a week now. free lunch at work because of the typhoon.
